Dear Editor: On behalf of the city of Northport and its elected officials, many thanks are due to Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox, the entire Tuscaloosa City Council members and staff for working with Northport to bring the city limit boundary back to the center of the Black Warrior River. Currently, the Tuscaloosa city limits come to the Northport side of the river.

This move will enhance and continue Northport’s ability to develop along the river and potentially out into the river itself.

With Tuscaloosa and Northport working together on common issues and ideas, it will benefit the entire West Alabama area. Mayor Maddox and the City Council have always worked with Northport’s elected officials with a progressive and practical mindset, and cities in these uncertain economic times can look to this partnership as an example. Thank you, and we look forward to working together on many projects in the future.
